About Edgar M.
Edgar M. Rivera studied philosophy and mathematics as an undergraduate at Fordham University, receiving his B.A. in 2011. He remained at Fordham for law school and earned his J.D. in 2014. His academic path combined analytical disciplines and legal training, an early signal of a practice grounded in careful reasoning.
Rivera began his legal career at The Harman Firm, LLP, joining as an associate in 2014 soon after graduating. He rose through the ranks and became a partner there in 2019. The following year he moved to Liddle & Robinson, LLP, taking on the role of counsel in 2020. Those years map a steady trajectory from entry-level associate to a senior lawyer working across different firms and courtrooms.
Over time Rivera has secured admissions across multiple jurisdictions. He is admitted in New York, New Jersey and Florida, and he holds admission to several federal district courts, including the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the District of New Jersey, the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida, and the District of Colorado. He is an active member of professional organizations. His memberships include the New York City Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, the New Jersey State Bar Association and The Florida Bar, where he has been listed since 2018. He has also been a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association since 2015, indicating sustained engagement with employment-law practitioners.
Colleagues describe Rivera as methodical in litigation preparation and precise in legal writing. He has practiced in both state and federal courts and has handled matters that required navigating procedural and evidentiary complexities. He tends to work cases through discovery and dispositive motion practice, and he is experienced in courtroom settings when matters proceed to trial or hearing.
Rivera’s background in philosophy and mathematics informs how he frames legal problems. He approaches factual patterns by parsing competing narratives and testing them against statutory text and precedent. That approach carries over into his courtroom work, where he emphasizes structure in argument and clarity in presentation.
As of 2026 Rivera is of counsel at Liddle & Robinson, LLP, practicing in litigation across state and federal courts and maintaining memberships in several bar associations and professional groups that align with his litigation work.
